14 THE MORNING OREGONIAX. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1912. ss, ' EPITHETS Thomas Manix and Deputy City Attorney - Tomlinson Pass Retort Courteous in Court. GRANT CRITICISED HARSHLY Wrangle Results From Attempt to Hare Judge Kavanaugh Recall Case Against Robert Wake- -field & Co. From Referee. Judge Kavanaugh made bitter state ments about City Attorney Grant in Court yesterday In retaliation for the latter'a action in casting reflection before the City Council on the Judgre' truthfulness. In the same session At torney Thomas Mannix called Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson a liar and de clared that neither Tomlinson nor Grant had ever opposed the appoint ment of a Teferee. Tomlinson in turn referred to Mannix as a prevaricator. All these accusations developed in the course of an argument in Judge Kava naugh's court yesterday afternoon on the motion to recall the case ot Koo ert Wakefleid & Co. against the city from the hands of Referee Cieland and substitute a Jury trial. All but about 15 minutes of the heat ed session was occupied by Mr. Tom llnson in defending Grant and himself and explaining why his remembrance of what occurred in Judge Kava naugh's chambers the day the case was referred must be more perfect than that of the Judge, and Attorneys Man nix and Coovert and former Deputy City Attorney Benbow, all of whom say that Tomlinson consented to the appointment of the referee. At the close of the session Judge Kavanaugh said that he will continue hearing ar gument at 6 o'clock this afternoon. Order Not as Agreed Says Judge. The Judge declared that there was no opposition on the part of Tomlinson to the reference of the case to Judge Cieland and that the order which he subsequently signed, which contained a statement of the city's alleged op position, was not drawn in accordance with the verbal understanding between himself and the attorneys. He had signed it without reading it in the rush of business, trusting to the in tegrity of the attorneys. 'Tomlinson agreed with me that be cause of the complicated and technical nature of the case it was one which should be referred to a referee, de clared Attorney Mannix. "He said, how ever, that the papers were attacking Grunt and that for political purposes he would like to have it appear that the city opposed a reference. I never saw Grant in the matter until after tne present controversy came up, when, scared by newspaper criticism, he in sisted that he had always been against the reference. Lie la Passed. "That is a lie," broke in Tomlinson. "I never said anything of the kind, and, furthermore, you know, Mannix, that you went with me to Grants office and that he wanted only a Jury trial. Mannix retorted that Tomlinson was simply seeking to shield his superior officer. A lengthy discussion followed In which bad faith was charged on both sides. During the altercation Judge Kava naugh continued shaking his head in the negative. Mr. Tomlinson hastened to explain, that his remembrance prob ably was better than the judge's for the reason that the latter nad many cases to consider in the course of a day while he (Tomlinson) was entirely bound up with the Wakefield case at the time. Kavanaugh If the city objects, why wasn't an appeal taken from the order of reference? Tomlinson We are not objecting Strenuously. . Kavanaugh As a matter of fact you preferred a referee? Tomlinson I did: Grant did not. Grant from the first day until now has said a jury trial and nothing else. Mr. Grant la Criticised. Kavanaugh Mr. Grant has never been in court and knows no facts rel ative to this controversy, yet he is the roan, I understand, who called the court a liar before the City Council. Mr, Benbow takes my view of what oc curred at the conference and there are other witnesses. Investigation on Grant's part before making such state ments was the decent thing to do. As far as you are concerned I am willing to say that I believe the differences between us are honest although there Is a wide and Irreconcilable variance as to what occurred. I fully under stood that the case was referred with your consent. I remember distinctly, because it is the ony case I have re ferred. I also remember you saying at that time, 'This is really Mr. Mannix' motion, not mine Such a statement is Inconsistent with your present attl tude. "Waiving all this," continued the judge, "I would like to see some law by which, after acquiescing in the ref erence as you have and making no charges against the referee you con tend a recall of this case from the referee would be Justified." Mannix Wants' Cltr to Pay. Mr. Tomlinson said that the case should not have been referred without written consent of the parties. Attorney Mannix contended that his clients have already spent $6500 on the trial of the case and urged that the city should be required to pay this if the case was taken away from Judge Cieland. "Mr. Tomlinson Is attempting to say that he Is telling the truth and that Judge Kavanaugh. Mr. Coovert, Mr. Benbow and myself are liars," said Mannix In the course of his statement. "So far as Mr. Benbow is concerned," bitterly retorted Tomlinson, "the court will take Judicial knowledge that he is an enemy of the City Attorney and I would place absolutely no credence in what he says." Judge Kavanaugh stopped Mr. Tom linson' tirade. "You took an hour and a half to tell your side of this story. Please do not Interrupt me. I am taking only 10 minutes of the court's time to tell the truth," said Mannix when Tomlinson again Interrupted him. "I am going to show who is a liar in this case and put the City Attorney's office in a hole. When you wanted your objection to reference to appear in the record. I was perfectly willing to acquiesce to help you and Grant save your scalps, as the case was one I honestly and sincerely believed should be heard by a referee, but things are different now." "For heaven's sake, Mannix, why do you make a jackass of yourself by making such silly statements?" was one of the shots Tomlinson fired at his opponent. In opening the argument Mr. Tom linson said that he presented the mo tion for a recall of the case frora Ref eree Cieland against his better judg ment, but he declared that he had no recourse in view of the demand of the LIAR ID LAWYERS JAGKA City Council,' whicrt, under the city charter, has control of the City Attor ney's office. Although the situation is consider ably tangled and Judge Kavanaugh remarks of yesterday indicated that he is apparently willing to accede to the City Council's demand for a jury trial. If 100 people would swear before God that I consented to the reference of this case, I would tell all that they were mistaken," dramaticaly exclaimed Mr. Tomlinson.

Firms and individuals to the number of 75 handling sporting gooas nave combined to attack in the courts the validity of the ordinance recently passed by the city regulating the sale of pocket firearms and dirks. The com plaint was filed yesterday by Attorneys Emmmons & Webster. The plaintiffs of record Include the Hudson Arms Company, the Marshall-Wells Hard ware Company and the Honeyman Hardware Company. The suit is di rected against Mayor Rushlight and Chief of Police Slover. The court is asked to enjoin these city officials from enforcing the ordinance. The ordinance provides that firearms and dirks must be sold only by persons, firms or corporations securing a license from the city and only to persons who present a permit from the Chief of Po lice. Reports of sales are also re quired to be made daily to the Chief of Police. A temporary restraining order was issued by Presiding Judge Morrow as a matter of course upon the filing of the complaint. It was served upon Chief of Police Slover, who immediately post ed a bulletin instructing policemen to forego attempts to enforce the ordi nance until further notice. M'GINN SHERIFF'S CRITIC Judge Objects to Choosing Venire men Who Have Served in Tear. Criticism of Sheriff Stevens for se lecting as special veniremen men who have done Jury duty within a year, was voiced by Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday, after several such had been excused in rapid rotation in securing jury to try the case of A. Zahn against the O.-W. R. & N. Co. in his court. The Sheriff has been in office long enough to know that the statute makes it Incumbent upon the court to excuse venireman if he has done jury duty Ithin a year," said the judge. "If the Sheriff cannot do better work than this shall appoint an elisor to draft citi zens for jury duty. Gentlemen, he said turning to the excused specials, "hereafter if you are summoned all that you have to do is to tell the Sheriff that you have served ithin a year. It is the Sheriffs fault that your time, the court's time and the publlo money is so wasted. He hould keep some kind of record of the men who have been summoned. It is his duty to see that no men are sum moned here who are subject to chal lenge for such causes." - Farm Xear Eugene Sells. EUGENE. Or., Sept. B.

Chief Slover will probably ask the Council for about $500,000 to operate ana maintain the department next year and to purchase four lots and construct small precinct stations upon them in order to place a new plan In vogue. He will also ask for an in crease in the number of patrol ser geants from 17 to 48, for one or two additional captains and 60 more patrol men. The city has grown so large," said the Chief, "that it will be imperative to enlarge and reorganize the depart ment soon. It may as well be done next year as any time. The protection of the public demands .It. I shall rec- ommend that the city be divided into precinct stations, with a captain in each station and sergeants to handle the three reliefs at each. I would hold the captain of a precinct responsible for his portion of the city and he could hold his sergeants to account for their respective territory. Stranger. Conld Be Identified. 'I would also have three detectives work from each of the precinct sta tions, although they would report to headquarters. In this manner, I fig ure, every district would be covered by men quite well acquainted with its residents. The minute a Btranger ap peared, they would know it. I think this system would work out well and get far better results for the public. Chief Slover also says that additional Jail room must be provided at the Lannton rockpile, but this subject is now under consideration by the Mayor and members of the Council. The Chief thinks there should be room for 150 more prisoners there. GOOD TIME. IS IN STORE PASSEVGER AGENTS' . COMIXG OFFERS RARE CHANCE. Arrival of American Association Members and Families Set for 2:30 o'clock September 16. When members of the American As sociation of General Passenger and Ticket Agents visit Portland on Mon day, September 16, they will be the subjects of continuous attention from the time of their arrival at 2:30 In the afternoon until their departure. All plans for entertainment are in the hands of the Portland Transporta tion Club. Several active committees are earnestly at work preparing the programme that provides pleasures for the women members of the party as well as for the men. Upon arrival at the Xnorth Bank depot the visitors will be received by representatives of the club and by most of the leading passenger officials In the city. Automobiles will convey the visitors to nearby points of in terest. Flowers and bon bons will be presented to the women, while the men will have plenty of good cigars. Following the auto trips the party ill go to the Portland Hotel, which ill be general headquarters for the visitors while they remain In the city. At 6:30 in the eveniug an informal banquet will be served. Accommoda tions for about 300 persons will be provided. Members of the Portland Commercial Club and city officials will join with the transportation men In ex tending a welcome to tne city, as Portland is the end of the scheduled Journey the party will break up here. Many will remain In me city ior sev eral days while others will prepare to leave the same night. All the railroads of the Northwest are making extensive preparations to II make the stay of the Eastern and Mid- dH Western passenger officials en joyable. They realize that in the visit of these men the Northwest is pre sented with an opportunity of secuslng valuable publicity. Every Eastern pas senger man who gains a favorable im pression of this portion of the country is almost certain to increase his efforts to direct travel to the Northwest when he returns to his office. "I don't believe that the people of Portland realize what benefits can re sult from the visit of this group of men," said J. E. Werlein, president of the Transportation Club, yesterday. "It is probably the only time In ten or 15 years that so many high passenger of ficials will be in Portland at the same time. We should be prepared to show them the city to the best advantage, so that they can go away with high opin ions and with a determination to send tourists out here whenever they get a chance.. Committees representing the Trans- portatlon Club already have raised nearly $1000 as an entertainment fund. They will require from $300 to $500 more to provide the banquet, auto mobile rides and- other favors. As an illustration of wajat the rail roads themselves are doing is the plan of the Northern Pacific to provide two special trains, luxuriously equipped and carrying two dining cars each, together with observation cars, library cars and other conveniences, all of wljlch will be given complimentary to all members of the party. A. M .Cieland, general pas senger agent, will have personal charge of the trip. The North Bank Road will conduct the two train loads of people to Sea side and Gearhart and provide them with accommodations at the Gearhart Hotel on the morning of Monday, Sep tember 16. The return run will be made so that the trains will arrive here promptly at 2:30 in the afternoon. CLATSOP WILL EXHIBIT FARMERS TO SHOW PRODUCTS AT GEARHART FAIR. Lower Columbia River Agricultural Association Meeting Will Be September 12 to 14. The Lower Columbia River Agrlcul tural Association will hold its annual session at Gearhart, Or., September 12 to 14, inclusive. This association was formed last year by Clatsop County farmers.

The Gearhart Park Company, through O. W. Taylor, its manager, has given the association five acres of land under the agreement that the fair would be held for five consecutive years. G. I Hees, of Gearhart, is the president of the organization, and C. S. Dow, a for mer member of the State Fair Board, who is farolng near Astoria, is its sec re tan-. The North Bank Railroad has prom ised to carry free a full carload of the winning Clatsop exhibits to the prod ucts show to --be held next month in Minneapolis. Funds are now being raised to send a man with this exhibit to advertise the Clatsop products. The entire 'showing will be credited to Clat son County, and every one of the sam ples will be labeled with the owner's name and tne description oi tne proa- uct. As a snecial Inducement to Portland residents interested in exploitation of the Lower Columbia River country, an excursion train will be run from Port land Saturday morning, September 14, leaving at 9:10 A.

Prominent Dealers Snbpenaed to Testify in Federal Courtroom at 2 P. M. Today. Representing the Government as special assistant to the Attorney-Gen. eral. Clark McKercher. of Washington r c. at 2 P M. today in the Federal courtroom will begin the examination of witnesses in support of tne Govern ment's contention that the retail lum ber dealers are maintaining a trust.

Fire Chief DowelJ, Councilman Ma. guire and one member of the fire com mittee of the Executive Board will go to Denver, leaving here September 12, to attend the convention of fire chiefs of the United States, to be held there beginning September 17. It is probable hat D. Soils Cohen, chairman of the committee, will be the member select ed, although this has not been deter mined. The Drincinal object of the trip is to give the officials named an opportunity of seeing tests of fire apparatus, es pecially that which Is motor driven. Portland has under consideration the nurchase of perhaps $75,000 worth of this equipment for new engine-houses, and It Is believed by the Mayor and embers of the City Council that it would be a paying proposition to send, committee to witness tests before this amount of money is expended. Meanwhile a large number of bids are being held, pending a report. PROGRESS SHOWN BY DISTRICT ELDER Columbia Conference of Meth odist Church, South, Opens in Portland.

The sunshiny disposition of Hazel Erwin gave place to tears and chok lng sobs yesterday afternoon, when Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald was telling a jury empaneled In Judge Kavanaugh's court to try her on a first degree murder charge, the details of the confession which she had made. The Jury was secured at noon and the opening statements, and the examina tion of a few witnesses of little con sequence, occupied the balance of the court session. Mr. Fitzgerald told the Jurors that the girl had confessed that she and Tanner, believing that Ray Wallace had money, had plotted to lure him to their room In an Alder-street lodging-house and rob him. Wallace's head had been crushed with an iron bolt, after the woman had failed to get him to drink beer containing sleeping powders. The defendant now on trial had stated that she was the prime mover in the crime. admitting, among other .things, that it was at her suggestion that Tanner had. picked up and carried home in a news paper the bolt with which the killing was done. "The defendant Is admittedly a wom an of the underworld of many years' experience, a woman who has lost heart, soul, conscience and all womanly modesty," vigorously declared the prosecutor. 'I have not the slightest doubt of the states ability to prove to you that she thought that Wallace had money and that she coolly deter mined to get it even If she had to kill him and, when this Is proved, I want you gentlemen to return the verdict of murder in the first degree, which the facts warrant." The opening statement of John A. Jeffrey, for the defense, - was an ap peal for sympathy. He placed all tne blame on Tanner, declaring that his client's mad infatuation for him had led her to sell body and soul to se cure money to support him. So great Is the lovo of this worn. an for this degenerate, this deserter from the Army, this macquereaux. that at first she was willing to run her head into & noose in an effort to save his worthless life, dramatically declared the attorney. "Even now she says that she would marry him If she got a chance. We want you gentlemen to do justice to the girL We will prove to you by testimony that she was ruined when 14 or 15 years of age by man with whom she fell In love ana whom she trusted and that thereafter everyone helped her, this girl, wh was a member of a poor family of children, and did not have half the advantage of -the average girl, further, down the hill Into the slough of sin and Immorality. "She met this man Tanner in' dancehall on the Barbary Coast in San Francisco and she fell in love with him. He offered to take her from the dancehall and marry her. She be lieved him. They came to Portland together, but he not get work an delayed the marriage. Finally they ran out of money. The landlord had to be paid and they had to eat and he told her she would have to get out and rustle. She loved him and she did so. She lured Wallace to her room, but she had nothing to do with the murder. She did not suggest or countenance It. We will show you that this poor girl has made several efforts to change h life and live like other women only to be dragged by necessity, and again her will, back Into Immorality. All w want you to do is to listen to her Btory. The Jury comprises- J. H. McMahon, W. A. McKay, Guy Haines. Phil Harris, J. D. Hall. C. W. Farrar. c. a. um son. S. O. Laws. A. L. Maney. Charles Danielson, Joe Scheldecker and Sam u. Beary. The witnesses examined yesterday were W. C. Schmitt, a civil englnee who made for the use of witnesses drawing of the apartment in which the murder occurred: Lloyd Irvine, a pny- sician, who testified to the fact ot tne death, and J. W. Wallace, father of the murdered man. POLICE WILL AID GOVERNOR Fight 'Against Sale ot Liquors to Drunken Men to Be Waged. Assistance of all policemen In fur thering the fight of Governor West against the sale of liquor to drunken men. was enjoined in an order Issued yesterday by Chief of Police Slover, whose mandate takes tne iorm ot i snur to continue the efforts which th department has been making with notable results. All drunken men taken to the police station are to be .questioned, as far as their condition may permit, as to where they obtained their last drinks, and whenever admissions are obtained which mav be made the basis for prosecution of the saloonkeeper, ne l to be held to court. While welcoming the assistance of the Governor and Attorney Roscoe P. Hurst, who has been commissioned to carry - on the campaign, tne ponce point to the fact that, by cooperation with the Municipal Court, they have in the past two years, reduced the ratio of "drunks" to total arrests, from almost an even B0 per cent, to less than 30 ner cent. That the re suits would be more striking if it were not for frivolous and dilatory ap Deals, is the general belief. Two bar tenders, in the most aggravated cases were sentenced to the rockpile, but tiv sentences have not been enforced, ap peals having been taken to the Circuit Court. Nicholas Kelley. a saloonkeeper at 321 Gllsan street, was arrested yester day for selling liquor to Roland Kelley, a minor. He appeared Dy Attorney Waldemar eton, member of the police committee of the Executive Board, and demanded a jury trial which has been set for today.
